As Hemisphere GPS' distribution partner in Europe, CLAAS Agrosystems is pleased to have the opportunity to introduce Outback Sts to our customers, said Dr. Michael Quinckhardt, CEO of CLAAS Agrosystems.

Outback Sts (S touch screen) is the latest addition to the line of situational awareness and data management tools from the Outback Guidance(R) product line. The Outback Sts 7 inch, high-resolution color touch screen and electronically integrated Outback Steering Guide(TM) uses GPS data and specific job details to provide real time job data and precision guidance. It features a variety of easy-to-use guidance patterns and the ability to set and adjust guidance lines. Outback Sts also boasts a wide array of job management options, including setting perimeters, dropping mark flags, creating job templates, and recording job-specific notes such as the type of crop, the wind direction, and temperature. All this information can be stored on the system internal memory or the data can be conveniently transferred via the USB port. All of these features are powered by Crescent(R); Hemisphere GPS' advanced patented GPS receiver technology.

We are proud of our partnership with a global agricultural machinery leader like CLAAS, said Kip Pendleton, Vice President and General Manager of Agriculture for Hemisphere GPS.
